About this map

Lucin stands as a focal point in the Great Salt Lake Desert, where the historic Southern Pacific tracks meet the innovative Lucin Cutoff. This 1990s record captures a landscape defined by its transit history, showing the Old Railroad Grade winding through a terrain of scattered water sources like Coal Bank Springs and Indian Spring. The map documents essential infrastructure for this arid region, including an extensive Aqueduct system and several water tanks.

Industrial activity is evident through numerous prospects and quarries surrounding Lion Mountain and Gartney Mountain. A small Cem near the settlement provides a genealogical touchpoint for those researching the families who supported the rail operations here. The geography transitions from the Tecoma Range in the west toward the marshes of the salt flats, following the drainage of Thousand Springs Creek and Grouse Creek.
